MOdel 3 versions are so confusing!

The Model 3 LR RWD is available off menu (order through Service Centre/Customer Service).

Place an LR AWD order online and call in and remove the front motor.

I could be wrong but I thought it wasn't available any more...

There's a few lingering ones available in Canada, this is based on a chat I had with a Tesla rep at Tesla HQ Canada. So you can't just order up a new LR RWD off menu, but rather you can only hope there's one for sale somewhere in Canada that Tesla hasn't yet sold.

I highly doubt Tesla will walk away from an LR order of any kind. The battery upgrade is very high margin.

With my Volt EVSE, I rarely unplug it in over a year possibly two times. No overheating. Mind you it is only low amperage of 12 (AFIK).
I plan on using the Tesla just like I have with the Volt, with the only difference being the current.
@Kappelan - the BX feeding your charger looks fairly small (#10 at most) to be used with anything > 24 amp charging, but that might also be the rating of your charger.

I charge my 2018 Volt for 1.5 years already. No issues. It takes about 4-4,5 hours to get the Volt's battery charged from 0 to full.

The BX looks "really" small; maybe #12? What gauge is the wire? We have been using the OEM charger for ~ a year on a 14-50 circuit hardwired to our 100 amp panel on a 40 amp breaker ( nominal net 32 amp ) with no problems. We used #8 wire in a conduit to a box.

If you're worrying about unplugging the mobile connector, just get an extra 14-50 adapter and always leave it in the socket, in 10 months of model 3 ownership I've only unplugged it once. This might vary by where you live and where you are going.

As for the j1772 connector, I've only heard of them melting on public stations outdoors, could have been full of dirt, stated carrying a can or compressed air in the trunk as the public charger near my work I've found the plugs get dirty if people drop them on the grass or snow.

I use my UMC too and leave it permanently in my garage. I did buy another one that I can keep in my M3 and another 14-50 adaptor..
